What’s on TV Wednesday: ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ and ‘Black Mirror’

What’s Streaming

THE HANDMAID’S TALE Stream on Hulu. After a twist-filled Season 2 finale left audiences discordant (or simply asking why June didn’t get into that truck), “The Handmaid’s Tale” returns to Hulu for a 3rd spherical. Continuing its interpretation of the novel by Margaret Atwood, the acclaimed collection will convey again Elisabeth Moss as June, whose story of resistance in a New England reshaped by environmental disaster and a patriarchal, totalitarian state has impressed intense fandom and real-world activism. Season 2 noticed Serena Joy Waterford, the difficult and usually staggeringly evil character performed by Yvonne Strahovski, getting extra consideration — a development that continues. “These super powerhouse female roles are layered and complex, and the story lines are amazing,” Strahovski just lately advised The New York Times, “and it’s so fun as an actor to come to work and play with that.”
